It certainly is a small world. I've been a lurker on the RTTD website for several years and I've enjoyed the insight and profited from some of the information,and for that I am grateful. I am also a regular user of the DRF stable mail. Several years ago I was a beer vendor at Arlington Park. On a Sunday afternoon I was working the picnic area and two ladies were having a wonderful time. We got to talking a bit and they owned a horse and he was entered today. They thought that he had a good shot and were eager for the race. Being an Arlington employee I could not bet during the day, although I regularly early birded several bets every day and watched as the races went off. Their horse ran a competitive race and finished second. He was also claimed by Frank Calabrese who Chicago area bettors know is the premier claiming owner in the area. I figured that if Frank saw something the horse should be added to my stable. The horse has had some modest success even though he was claimed from Calabrese a long time ago. I recently got the e-mail about the Kentucky Downs entry and when I was checking on the morning line I was surprised to see KNS in the same race. I guess now I have an exacta box to play tomorrow. Sorry if I bored you with the long post but I sincerely wish you the best of luck tomorrow.
